The Cluster-SOA Debugger helps you debug service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based applications that are running on a Windows HPC 2008 cluster. The Cluster-SOA Debugger is an add-in to the C# project system in Visual Studio 2008. It extends the remote debugger functionality and it simplifies the process of debugging cluster SOA services on a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster.

The C# Cluster-SOA Debugger supports the following debugging modes:

Step into a request in the client code and attach to the remote service process that receives the request

Attach to the service processes on all nodes

Attach to the service process on selected nodes

The Cluster-SOA Debugger includes a C# project template called HPC Cluster-SOA Client Template. The template includes the outline of the code that is used to start an interactive session on a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster and references to the necessary HPC namespaces.
